Galway Bay fm newsroom – An additional 700 thousand euro has been allocated to rural roads across Galway under the Local Improvement Scheme for 2021.
The Local Improvement Scheme funds works on non-public roads that offer important connectivity in rural areas.
These could include access roads to agricultural land or roads leading to important community amenities such as graveyards, beaches, or piers.
The latest allocation brings the total funding to Galway County Council under the scheme to €1.6m for this year.
Senator Sean Kyne says LIS funding is hugely important and the additional funding will be put to good use.
Bonus €147,000 in funding for rural road repairs and maintenance

A Donegal Councillor is calling for the current Local Improvement Scheme to be scrapped, and replaced with an alternative that would better suit the needs of local Ireland.
Yesterday, an extra €491,000 was confirmed for Donegal, bringing the county s 2021 total amount to just over €1,188,000.
However, Cllr Micheal Cholm Mac Giolla Easbuig says at current LIS allocation rates, it would take Donegal County Council 30 years to process and follow-through on all the requests they currently have for improvements to non-national roads, even without any new applications.
Cllr Mac Giolla Easbuig says the current scheme does not come anywhere near what is required.
